Tension and compression tester

The Mecmesin MultiTest-d test system is available in 1 and 2.5 kN capacities. The tester works in conjunction with a digital force gauge and forms an entry-level motorised test system for evaluating quality control parameters in tension and compression.

The system includes potentiometer control enabling precision and finetuning of test variables such as speed and the addition of displacement as a test measurement parameter.

One feature of the system is the ability to run continuous test cycles. Users needing to perform multiple tests on a sample and requiring minimal set-up time can automate them to run continuously.

The tester’s software can plot the graph of force and deflection to analyse essential physical parameters, such as the coefficient of friction, peeling forces and tensile strength.
